Honest Emily

So I just had a very tough decision to make. Kyle and I had a wonderful weekend in London, but we both were exhausted this morning when we had to be at our French lessons by 8am. So here it is, 4:50pm and I had to make the decision--did I want to take a nap or open a cold Leffe Blond beer and work on my blog? For my love of each and every one of you out there, I opted to skip the nap and instead work on making my blog better. You know that was an act of love.

I have been talking with my friends about my blog and they all encourage me to be more honest in it. I am fairly honest, but there are definitely some things I don't include because I don't know exactly who is reading this. But I must say, I am tired of filtering things and not just being my true self. It takes a lot of effort to always keep entries sanitized and clean. My new favorite blog to read is www.dooce.com and one of the reasons I love it is because the author is so honest in it. So here goes...

--I am listening to my new favorite musician Jack Johnson as I am writing. I really like his style of music, but I wonder if it might all start sounding the same after awhile.

--I abolutely HATE the French language. It is incredible confusing and really annoying how you don't say all of the letters in a word.

--I love having friends (like Kelly and Julie Anne) that I can talk about saving money with. Why should I feel bad about saving money considering I am a 25 non-working person living in Europe?

--I just bit into a piece of chocolate and it had mold on the inside of it. Not only was it disgusting, but it kind of made me sad to think that there is nothing in life that will always be perfect (the way you think a good piece of chocolate will be.)

--Belgium has the best beer in the world. We had a great time in London, but I will honestly say that they had crap for beer choices. I have truly become a beer snob and Belgium has the best.
